Not that either of them are very good actresses but Deepika for sure. She started off as a stunner, a classic beauty who does not know how to act ala Ash who was she was often compared to in beauty at the beginning of her career.. But her failures + breakup compelled her to seek better movies & has begun experimenting.. There is a variety & scope in DP's versatile choices in film & performance & she in comparison to AS, delves totally into the character. I find AS not only highly over-rated on this forum, but as of now, above-average as an actress. It's amusing to me to see that she actually has rabid fans because she's such an average actress with variations of the same basic character profile- The bubbly,feisty & independent 'modern' young girl. It's also funny how someone so bland can evoke such emotion in people but I reckon people feel special if they deviate from the 'mainstream. Loool.. Outside of IF, I know no-one who considers Anushka to be a good actress, though she has fans for other things like her personality & dressing sense, relationship with Kohli etc which has benefited her too.. Unfortunately she gets trolled a lot for her relationship but also she has gained a big number of fans from it too..
So DP is definitely a better actress, no doubt. Coupled with her far more pleasing personality (apart from the times when she sounds like a lunatic around RK during promotions) my choice would be Deepika.
